To assess the knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of stroke among hypertensive patients before and after the structured teaching programme. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of stroke among hypertensive patients. 3. To find out the association between pre-test levels of knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of stroke among hypertensive patients with selected socio demographic variables. Materials & Methods: In order to achieve the objectives of the study, one group pre-test and post-test design with evaluative approach was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample. The data was collected from 60 respondents by using a structured questionnaire. Results: During pre-test, out of 60 respondents 41 (68.3 percent) of the respondents had inadequate knowledge, 19 (31.7 percent) had moderate knowledge and none had adequate knowledge. But during post-test 39 (65.0 %) had adequate knowledge, 21(35.0 %) respondents had moderate knowledge and there was no respondent with inadequate knowledge regarding warning signs and prevention of stroke among hypertensive patients.

The criteria for the selection of the setting are the availability of subjects, feasibility of conducting the study. The target population in the present study was adolescent girls studying in Global College of Nursing at Bangalore. The sample of this study comprised of 60 adolescent girls. Simple random sampling (Random table number) method was used to draw the sample. A Visual Analogues Scale (VSA) to assess the pain intensity of the students. The findings revealed that in experimental group, majority of the subjects, 24 (80%) had severe pain, 6 (20%) subjects had moderate pain, none had severe pain, and in control group majority of the subjects, 22 (73.3%) had severe pain, 8 (26.6%) subjects had moderate pain, none had pain. After the intervention, in experimental group, majority of the subjects, 24 (80%) had mild pain, 6 (20%) subjects had moderate pain, none had severe and in control group majority of the subjects, 25 (83.3%) had moderate pain, 5 (16.6%) subjects had mild pain and none severe pain. The adolescent girls had reduction in the menstrual cramps as evidenced by the results shown. Hence carom seed oil is effective in the reduction of menstrual cramps and it was found to be less cost effective procedure.
